It’s a New Day. It’s a New World.
WITH ART, architecture and design rapidly gaining new interest in parts of the Arab world, ArtBahrain believes that the time is now to hear from some of the creative voices that have helped shape this progress and continue to play vital roles in our ever-changing cultural environment.
We asked Artkrush editor Paul Laster to make back-to-back interviews with Shaikh Rashid bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, one of Bahrain’s leading contemporary artists and the co-founder of the Bahrain Art Society and ArtBahrain, and Dia Al-Azzawi, a prominent Arab artist who’s hailed as the Godfather of the Iraqi Diaspora, about the ideas that inform their work, their support of contemporary art, and the exciting new cultural developments in the region.
